Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 464 Apprenticeship



"what?!"

After lunch, Chu Ci invited Mrs. Wen to the study for a detailed discussion. When he heard that they were going to stay here, Chu Ci was so anxious that he almost rushed to the roof.

"Master Chu, don't be impatient. Don't worry, the old man will stay here too, and won't just leave them to you." Mrs. Wen said while stroking his beard.

"Lord Wen, it's not that the lower officials want to resign, it's that the temple here is too small to accommodate these giant Buddhas." This hot potato, anyone who wants to pick it up can take it.

Mrs. Wen said with a smile: "Lord Chu, you are too modest. Your yard is not too small. I see that it is more than half empty, and there is more than enough room for us to live in."

Seeing that he seemed to be pretending to be stupid, Chu Ci couldn't sit still, he walked up to Mrs. Wen, lowered his voice and said: "Master Wen, you and I know who those people are outside, these golden branches and jade leaves, don't Speaking of bumps, even a single hair is indispensable. I am used to being poor here, and there is no one who waits on me. If I don’t take good care of it, wouldn’t it be a big disaster? Your old man, please do your best to bring these little ancestors let's go?"

After listening to his words, Mrs. Wen not only did not express his position, but shook his head and sighed: "It seems that things are different, and the golden ruler that made countless scholars fearful has become timid now."

Chu Ci didn't accept the aggressive method, and said with a blank expression: "You also said that those are all students, and it is only natural that they will be given two rules if they make a mistake."

"Aren't these the same? The sons and phoenixes are all in the palace." Mrs. Wen smiled mysteriously, "You just treat them like ordinary students, scold them when they make mistakes, and beat them when they should." , the old man didn’t say a word.”

Chu Ci was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Do you have to stay here?"

"Exactly." Mrs. Wen nodded.

"Can't you think about it?" Chu Ci still wanted to make a final struggle.

"No." Mrs. Wen was also very firm, this was the purpose of his trip.

"That's fine, but we have to agree in advance that I will arrange everything for them here. I can teach others how I teach them. I can't specialize, and I can't bully others." Negotiate the conditions in advance.

"Since the old man has entrusted them to you, naturally everything is at your disposal." Mrs. Wen said with an easy-talking look.

After the two settled down, Mrs. Wen invited the three princes in.When Chu Ci pretended not to know their identities before, he could naturally be rude, but now that he knew, he had to express it.

However, when he was about to salute them, he was lifted up.The third prince Yu Ren said: "Mr. Chu doesn't need to be too polite, we will be called master and apprentice from now on, don't care about these trivial etiquettes."

Chu Ci still saluted them.They didn’t salute, it’s a sign of their respect for teachers, if they accepted Chu Ci’s salute graciously as soon as they came in, it proves that they don’t regard Chu Ci as a teacher who preaches scriptures, but just a professor of knowledge of courtiers.Then Chu Ci will also fulfill his duties as a courtier and dare not exceed the rules in half a step.

After they were exempted from the etiquette, Chu Ci still saluted them. This was a sign of respect for the imperial power. It meant that Chu Ci would not become arrogant because he wanted to teach them, and he would still abide by his duty.

Taifu Wen saw the performance of both parties, and was very satisfied with their actions.

Then several princes paid homage to Chu Ci, and after receiving their tea, Chu Ci gave each of them a set of the Four Treasures of the Study as a meeting gift.

Among the three princes, he had known the third prince Yu Ren and the sixth prince Yu Qiu before.Yu Ren was a little autistic before and didn't like to communicate with others.Yu Qiu was still young at that time, but he could already see that the child was outgoing and a little domineering.He had never seen the Seventh Prince Yu Sui before. He looked thin and small now, but his eyes were firmer than those of the previous two princes.

"In the future, I will call you by your first names. You must also remember not to disclose your identities to anyone. To the outside world, I will say that you are the children of a good friend of mine. You need to keep it in mind. You should keep a low profile in normal times, and you are also You need to change it." The first lesson Chu Ci taught them was to conceal their identities.

When they came all the way in disguise, the thick powder was really uncomfortable on the face, after arriving here, Mrs. Wen took the initiative to remove it.Fortunately, few of the officials here have seen them, and they will not arouse suspicion if they go out occasionally.But if they leak their words outside and are listened to by those who care, the consequences may be serious.

All three nodded in agreement, along the way, Mrs. Wen also taught them the same way.Although they still don't quite understand what happened, they can also see it from the behavior of the father and the palace people.

Before leaving the palace, the emperor called them together, looked at them for a long time with a very strange look, and then told them to obey the Taifu's words, and in addition, they were not allowed to return to Beijing without receiving his personal letter.

Seeing that they were obedient, Chu Ci couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said: "Besides you, I have a few students here, you all saw them during the meal just now. The tallest one is Chang Xiao, the most upright one It's Fu Ming'an, the cutest one is called Zhong Liyu, and the last one who is a bit out of touch is my nephew, Chu Yuan. They are all good-natured people, you should get along well in the future. Now I will take you there to recognize each other. .”

The place where Chu Xiaoyuan and the others study is in the study on the other side. There are five desks there. Lu Jingshu also studied there before.However, there were these few more today, and after thinking about Yu'er's parents' bad relationship, Chu Ci decided not to let Lu Jingshu get in touch with these few.

When Chu Ci arrived, they were practicing calligraphy.This is the task assigned to them by Chu Ci. Each person has to submit a piece of work every day, and it must be satisfactory to them, and Chu Ci will also judge the quality of the words they submit every day.In order to write words that satisfy them, they usually keep practicing, and then pick the best one and submit it.

Changing from "I want to write" to "I want to write" is the only magic weapon to ensure learning efficiency.

"You all stop first." Chu Ci said, and after seeing everyone's eyes moved over, he said, "You have met these few just now, they are the children of an old friend of mine, surnamed Yu, Yu Xiasan Cheng Qi's Yu. They are called Yu Ren, Yu Qiu and Yu Sui respectively, and they will stay here to study from now on, you must get along well in the future, and you are not allowed to bully others, understand?"

The children should know it, and Chu Xiaoyuan even patted his chest and promised: "Uncle, don't worry, we will get along well!" After finishing speaking, he graciously dragged a few empty chairs against the wall Come here and let them sit down later.

"That's good. I've finished today's class in the morning. The three of you should ask them for the homework you want to complete, and hand it in together tomorrow."

After Chu Ci finished speaking, he left the study room, leaving only the three princes and a few others staring wide-eyed.

"Where are they?" Mrs. Wen sat in Chuci's study, reading a book vigorously.This book was compiled from the manuscripts left by the Juyeshan people. There are many thought-provoking articles in it, and it is very popular among local students.

"Over there, they are about the same age, and they will get to know each other in a short while, but I will be a burden there." Chu Ci said, he sat down beside Mrs. Wen, and poured them both a cup of tea.

"That's right, but I really admire your character." Mrs. Wen raised her head and said a word, then immediately returned her gaze to the book.

"Didn't you tell me to treat them as ordinary students? Why do you think I'm neglecting them again?" Chu Ci felt aggrieved, saying one thing is another thing.

"The old man didn't say that!" Mrs. Wen said that he would not take the blame, "The words just now were sincere, so don't think too much. By the way, you should have finished reading this book, right? Take a look here In other words, what do you think should be done?"

Chu Ci's attention was immediately diverted, and he began to discuss this sentence with him.The two discussed for a long time, and they didn't stop until the sun went down.These words seem simple, but in fact they have profound meanings. To be able to write such words, the people of Juye Mountain are worthy of being the great Confucians of the world.

It's a pity that such a person was killed by the Japanese, how can it not make people sigh?But anyone who has read his book can't help cursing those inhuman Japanese people.

I think that as long as this book is handed down for one day, the hatred between the people of Southern Fujian and the Japanese will never die!
